Pacing around the church
There's no one here
There's just excuses
When the truth is nowhere near
Stars explode, you dream below
Oh god, a prayer and a broken home
You stare at a wall and think about your life
Your brittle, little life
Oh, you won't make it out there alone
You may need me now
You may need me now and then
This was easy when we were young and free
And now we are anything but either of these
Oh take you, take me
Chasing the ghosts around the planted towns
You have so much love to give
But nowhere to live
Frozen tear dying of thirst
The failure of the suffer with your past is not the last or the first
The wish is in the well, go to hell
Oh, you won't make it out there alone
You may need me now
You may need me now and then
This was easy when we were young and free
And now we are anything but either of these
Oh take you, take me
You can seldom count on love
You can often count on hate
You can always count on
Death as your fate
When you need a place for ???
Then darling look for me
I take pleasure in bringing your enemies to their knees
This was easy when we were young and free
And now we are anything but either of these
Oh, you won't make it out there alone
You may need me now
You may need me now and then
It was perfect when we were young and free
But now we are anything but either of these
Now take you, take me
